re:
Liberal Push for Commercial Use of Kangaroos Condemned
Dear Editor,
A commercial
killing (and processing) of kangaroos ban was implemented in 1982
for good reason ; there weren't enough kangaroos to support a
viable kangaroo industry in Victoria. (The Weekly Times May 25th,
1984 "You've hunted them all out down there".)
But the Liberals
are so keen to get a meat processing industry reintroduced that
Opposition Agriculture/Resources Minister Phil Davis refers to
a herd of kangaroos, not a mob, emphasising his ignorance about
kangaroos.
He has profits
on his mind about RIRDC Federal Government subsidies to kill this
free resource.( January 1, 2004), not the way their dead bodies
replenish the degraded land or the pain and suffering they endure
or the way they have lived in harmony with Mother Earth for millions
of years. The Libs seek to tame nature but will never succeed.
Shame on you Liberals!
Sincerely,
Maryland Wilson
President
